A deal looks unlikely Iran believes the attacks will continue no matter what it concedes. Tehran is prepared for this war to continue, writes @gbrew24 https://t.co/uo1jq4IVjS #Iran #Hormuz #Geopolitics #EnergyCrisis
I was afraid this afternoon. Read a security report that a massive cyberattack is coming. Fear causes the human mind to do weird things. My mom, in 1988, thought a massive nuclear war was coming, so joined a Montana suvivalist cult. Had...
Reporter- “Why would the Iranian people want you to blow up their infrastructure?” Trump- “We have numerous intercepts from Iranians saying “Please keep bombing….”
My guess is that the Iranians would gladly endure the "global outcry" if it came with an endless supply of cutting-edge weaponry from the United States, like Israel gets.
Everything We Now Know About The Operation To Rescue The F-15E WSO We have gotten many new details about how the high-risk extraction effort deep in Iranian territory went down. https://t.co/NUDLlXTsWM
Kudos to a life saver: Two US airmen rescued from Iran by an armada of helicopters, other aircraft and commandos used a standard issue Boeing Co. communications device to alert their comrades and signal their locations, according to a service...
Ok, ok fine Blake. We can keep funding NATO but only if they agree to relocate every UN facility and diplomat on earth to Antarctica.
The way we rescued our missing pilot in Iran is the kind of force we should’ve sent to Bengazi to rescue the Americans there.
This is...um...not even really sure where to go with this. Like, didn't we end actual imperialism? On what basis does the US get to charge tolls for passage through a waterway they DIDN'T build? Are we "liberating" it from Iran?
Your reminder that it's the Department of Defense, by law. Only Congress can change that. Trump has merely told people that they may use a secondary title of Department of War. Doing so is a choice, and sends a signal....
The nuclear submarine technology blows my mind and makes me think it could be possible we landed on the moon. The fact it can stay under for months and shoot nuclear warheads from under water that surface, split into multiple airborn...

When we saw pics of that EO aperture on Proteus years ago I said to Joe, “well that’s sure to be for the 180!”
RQ-180’s Likely Role Over Iran Foreshadowed By Secret Cold War Stealth Drone Program Large sums of money were spent trying to build a spy drone just like the RQ-180 for a very specific mission decades beforehand. Feature: https://t.co/YCUQn5IdPY
First: subtract Turkey and Canada, which either won’t help or can’t get to Europe, and this already looks thin. Second: how much of that equipment actually works? Third: “combat drones” 🤦♂️ Lastly: “10 aircraft carriers” and “78 submarines” 😂😂😂
"...a rescue force composed of 21 aircraft, including A-10 Thunderbolt attack planes, KC-130 search and rescue aircraft, HH-60W Jolly Green IIs and a package of Air Force special warfare combat rescue officers and pararescue operators, went into enemy territory to...
"The Pentagon hasn't accounted for $1 trillion in spending, and then they ask Congress for more money. We burn 10 years' worth of Tomahawks, and now we need a ceasefire. This is a C-." -- @ramahluwalia https://t.co/8bYXWatFF8

trump’s latest message to iran: open the strait or face even bigger strikes. iran isn’t negotiating with the us. but it is talking to everyone else. @gzeromedia
Another video has escaped the grasp of Israeli censorship. Iranian counterattacks destroyed residential buildings in Haifa, Israel. First responders recovered multiple bodies from the rubble. Contrary to Trump’s rhetoric, IRAN IS LOCKED AND LOADED. https://t.co/mkmAfGU8js
"The fact that that Seal911 has been the saving grace for a bunch of teams shows that people could put more resources into better endpoint security." -- @llewellenmichael https://t.co/8bYXWatFF8
The British-led effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by forming a coalition without U.S. involvement is just unrealistic. Here's why... #iranwar #crudeoil #geopolitics https://t.co/lVUq1LEnA7
My friend and former colleague Kyle Rempfer, who served as a Special Tactics Squadron airman in Afghanistan and Iraq, breaks down how the Air Force can set up and defend a makeshift airfield like the one used in Iran for...
@pbs is reporting that a drone company backed by Trump’s sons is actively pitching weapons to Gulf states under Iranian attack. All while President Trump vows to end the war in Iran immediately.
Just FYI, with reduced traffic through the Strait of Hormuz (it cannot be objectively assessed as fully closed), China risks losing roughly 40 to 50 percent of its oil imports, which come from Gulf producers whose exports transit the Strait,...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Trump against a ceasefire deal, an Israeli official told Axios.
NATO is a paper tiger… Putin has explained that to me several times - POTUS 🤔
US President Donald Trump says that “part of the deal is we want free traffic of oil” via the Strait of Hormuz. (In reference to the current US-Iran talks via regional intermediaries)
Suspected Chemical Shipments From China to Iran Raise Concerns Over Potential Missile Expansion. Both Russia and China are helping Iran. Continue to ask why Trump removed sanctions and let the war criminal, Putin, get needed revenue for Russia? https://t.co/JZZHQgLJxY
Trump, speaking at the White House, suggests at least one U.S. jet was shot down over Iran by a shoulder-fired missile. "You know, what hit this one was a shoulder, handheld shoulder missile, heat-seeking missile. ... They had probably a little...

I have gotten a lot of emails from people declaring one image in our post showing the the wreckage at the airstrip doesn't show a little bird and it's just another C-130 engine. Some of them are quite hostile. Anyways,...

CNBC chyron: 'President Trump to Speak on Iran War' Exhausting. Can we schedule one official update a day or something along those lines?
Iran and Houthi naval disruption is more than drones @Marco_mmabjj It's also missiles, fast boats with anti-ship rockets, & mines.
What surprised me in recent discussions is not the threats. It is how many teams are still trying to manage this without dedicated leadership. How are you structuring security if you do not have a CISO?
The US is delaying Japan’s Tomahawk purchase as the Iran war burns through stockpiles. I’ve warned that the high use and slow replenishment of TLAMs would create a gap. The readiness bill is now due and allies are bearing the...
JPM's Michael Cembalest: In the ~160 years after the Civil War, US presidents fired 11 four- and five-star military officers. In Trump's first 14 months, the White House has fired 9 of them. https://t.co/volNDO7T3A
